I'd forgotten all this! How brilliant I used to be. Actually I was referring to the 'Pheonician' strategy which involves the following scene at Phoenicia Central, Tyre.

HQ man (in Canaanite): Is there a Briton in the house?'
Briton (in Canaanite): That'll be me, guv. I do all the languages for the north-west.
HQ man (in Canaanite): How do you say "Five hundred ingots of copper, one hundred of tin, please"?
Briton (in English): "Five hundred ingots of copper, one hundred of tin, please."
HQ man: Slower, I've got to get it down in Phonetics.
Briton: If it's tin, I'd better give it to you in Welsh as well.

Phoenician metal trader arrives in England

Phoenician (reading from his phonetic crib sheet): "Five hundred ingots of copper, one hundred of tin, please."
Cornishman: No speaka da Inglish.
Phoenician (in Welsh): "Five hundred ingots of copper, one hundred of tin, please"?

Tricky, perhaps unlikely, but nifty all the same. There was a lot of advantages being signed up with the Phoenicians. Until the Romans decided to cut out the middle man. They even called them the Punic Wars.

The talk that Mick gave at Megalithomania is available on Amazon. The DVD title is The Megalithic Empire and its cover is the same as the book's



Could be misleading as the talk is actually based on the maritime trade route(s).
